November is my turn for sending out bundles of fabric to fellow Bee Imaginative Block Swappers. Unfortunately I've tried hard to pretend that time was on my side, and now find myself bundling fabrics rather late.

Twelve bundles of fabric strips have been rotary cute, all in a red/white color palette with a splash of orange and pink, and they are just about ready for shipping. One bundle for each swap participant. All fabrics are from stash, which in itself is always satisfying.

The plan is for each fabric bundle to be sewn into a large scale log cabin block. I've made two log cabin blocks myself to gauge how much fabric to send. The blocks measure 15 1/2 inches as they are.

My vision is to eventually join these large blocks together separated by a wide strip of white sashing fabric. Eventhough log cabin blocks are a traditional design I do imagine that the overall look of the quilt will be modern, simple and fresh.

What a great table of strips! I love the inclusion of orange and pink. Just a touch makes the red even more interesting. Chunky log cabins, white sashing and awesome fabric, you are really talking my language!! : )
